Know-how and experience provide the basis

for innovative solutions and superior quality.

For more than 100 years we have produced

and marketed the best possible technology

for professional users – worldwide.

For us, “Made in Germany” is more than just

a label. On a site extending over 100,000 m2

in the Münsterland region, KEMPER employs

a staff of about 250. Product development,

customer care and production are closely

linked in our company. This is what guarantees

continuous further product development.

Good harvest – good all round.

04

The right header for every crop, from agricultural through

to industrial use.

The harvesting headers of the 400 series cut quickly

and thoroughly at a high speed of rotation. The large

harvesting rotors operate powerfully, regardless of

the row spacing or the crop. Even under extreme

harvesting conditions, the headers really show what

they can do. The two sloping, stepped feeder drums

ensure tidy bundling right across the width of the

channel. Full utilisation of the engine power is made

possible due to the even lengthwise crop feed. The

400 series harvesting headers provide the highest

possible productivity with maximum chopping quality.

445

Years of experience, versatile in application. 4.55 m working width,width for transport 2.47 m.

460plus

Outstanding performance, even on down crop. 6.00 m working width, width for transport 3.00 m.

475plus

Even wider reach for very large, high-yield maize. 7.50 m working width, width for transport 3.30 m.

Whether for small dairy farms … … or for biogas installations.

05


Powerful – even under extreme conditions.

07

The proven header for harvesting

thin-stemmed crops.

The down crop augers ensure loss-free pick-up of down maize, even under very difficult conditions.

The 2 speed gear case allows the speed of the attachment to be optimised, so as to react flexibly to any crop conditions and cut lengths.

Each conveying drum is protected by friction clutches.

06


445 – simply solid.

The universally applicable KEMPER headers have an

impressively low weight. Fast-running saw rotors cut

the crop cleanly. Sloping conveying drums bundle the

material and feed it optimally to the chopping drum.

All the gears are protected by zero-maintenance

safety clutches.

The mechanical lateral tilting frame, including the automatic locking for road transport, is part of the standard equipment.

The 460plus has a particularly wide transfer channel to the harvester. Large quantities of crop are bundled by the sloping conveyor drums and passed to the chopper unit.

The powerful header for harvesting

thin-stemmed crops.

460plus – up and away.

The 2-speed gearbox allows the speed of the header to be optimised, so as to react flexibly to any crop conditions and cut lengths.


Special, low-level external crop dividers allow the down crops to be picked up without damage.

Bolt-on, easily exchanged scrapers ensure optimum function of the header – very easy to service.

Breaking up the sharp-edged maize stubble helps the tyres of the harvester, and ensures faster decomposition.

With a working width of 7.50 m, the 475plus is the

largest header in the 400 series. The two, small

outer conveying drums, which reliably transfer

the maize inwards towards the large drums, are

a special feature.

The ideal header for harvesting

high-yielding maize.

475plus – even greater reach.


Reliable crop transport from the outer drums to the inner ones, thanks to the cross feed drums located at the rear of the machine.

The KEMPER 400 series:

ready for use in any season.

Wide versatility.

High profitability and a wide range of uses are the

marks of the KEMPER headers. Many thin-stemmed

crops for animal feed or the production of biogas

can be harvested, even under very difficult harvesting

conditions, a row-independent harvesting system

with fast-running rotors allows uninterrupted cutting

over the full working width. The cutting rotors,

with exchangeable segments and special scrapers,

provide the conditions for the best possible harvest.

A hero in the field.

The low width during transport

and the clever folding of the

header allow for a perfect view.

It is not only in the field that the 400 series

is an innovation: the headers have important

advantages on the public roads. The design

gives the driver a perfect view of the road.

On course for success.

The new sensor in the central crop divider assists steering.

A magnet is embedded in the plastic. The black sensor measures the distance, and obtains a steering signal.

Stress-free operation –

thanks to the automatic

row guidance with the new

KEMPER sensor.

18 19

The bonus in equipment. Increased working speed thanks

to automatic row guidance

Lower stress on the driver,

bringing improved performance

Full driver-concentration

on what is important

The harvester does not lose its

track even when a row is missing

Innovative software compensates

for missing signals

Low-wear, zero-servicing design

Over hill and dale.

The electro-hydraulic lateral tilting frame

provides ideal adaptation to the ground

and an even chopping pattern, particularly

on hillsides or over stony ground.

Active ground adaptation

Active regulation using a

Reduced wear costs

and less servicing work

20 21

Electro-hydraulic lateral tilting

frame – for optimum adaptation to the

ground, even under extreme conditions.

The sensor integrated into the crop divider can move vertically and horizontally. Uneven ground or stones cause it to move, and generate pulses.

The pulses from the sensor are used by the harvester software to control the hydraulic cylinder in the lateral tilting frame, generating vertical and horizontal adjustments.


Versatile – “One for all”

Superior cut quality for the whole

range of thin-stemmed plants.

Efficient – “One for the lead”

Optimum transport, even for very

high-performance harvesters.

Universal – “One for everywhere”

Top performance, even under difficult

harvesting conditions, such as unusually

high maize grown with irrigation.

Low-maintenance – “One for always”

All gears have integrated safety clutches.
